Tho King ulotte underwood this strange freak of tho bridegroom, and, though much enraged, ho prudently held hit" ponce auj suffered the ceremouy to proceed. A few words will explain tho motives of tho bridegroom. When Louis tho'XIVtb came back from his great campaign in the Palatinate, ho de-tern:iiiedio unite his sod, whose valor und daring in the war hud greatly pleased bini, to oue of the wealthy wards of the crown. ' He proposed the union to tho young Duchess of Daliverne, oud foucd her favorably iu-cliuod.Sbe had just coma to the Court, haviti!.' just emerged from the couvent where she had just completed her educatiou. Bue uausteniue young Oouiil olten, tbougli he hud never deigoed to cn.st a glauce upou her. She knew ho was brave aud noble, uud she thought handsome. The hur-f iuitter i 1 bis escutcheon was do objection fcihe accepted him. Unf'iilunntely, Lonls of Fruncho Compte who like his father was something of a reprobate, would not accept her, "My fon," raid the great King. "I have re solved that yon shall marry." "My worthy sir, and most excellent father," returned the Cuuut, "1 have resolved to do no such thing." . i Tbe King frowned. lie was not In tho hab it of being contradicted. , "1 Itavo made a formal proposition 111 rour. name, for tlio hand of tho Duchess of full-veruc. and sho has accepted you," suitf e gravely. ., ' "Uouiit.ess. sneered the vouoir Bcano-irrace. "her tajste is excellent, unci could she refuse me f t'erlmpj it would have been as well to have consulted my .inclinations in the matter. I do nit wish to marry." "A ro you In love with any one f - "No." - '-Then love my Duchess, Sho is noble, wealthy." . . . . j ' I upt ynur sou i that is robility enough.'' Ho bowd low as ho fpoke, aud the King smiled at the compliment, "And the Jews trust niowhut could I do with lr.ore money?" "Jint sho is tlio prettiest woman In my court." "I'm tired of prettv womeu j they aro always fools." "Could you but sen her, you would bo sure to fall in love with her." ' I will never see her !" uiiswoied the Count, determine-illy. "Hoe her or uot, you shall many her P cried tho ICing in a rage, "If 1 do, I'll mnrry her with my eyes shut!" returned tho Count. Tho King grow purple .with passion. "llurk'u boy I You owo me obedicuco as a euliji.'ct and a son, It is my will that you bestow your hand upou tho Duchess de Kali-vertio, The wedding shall tako placo this day fortnight, Submit to my will with a good grace und I will creato J'ou a Duko ou your wedding dav- Dni'fl to disobey nm uud 1 will strip you of your titles and the lauds you Ijold from me, uud cast you into-the liastilo." This was what had brought tho Count of Frnncbo Compto blindfolded to bo married. Tlio King smiled grimly, but suid nothing. Tho Count placed tho ring upon the linger of his bride, but he did not suluto her, uud when tbe ceremony was over ho turned his buck upou her, took the handkerchief from his rycfj aud walked deliberately out of the chap-1. Lydonia pouted her pretty lip?, and vi-as olmobt reudy to cry with vexation. - 'Thu King took lu-r iu charge, escorted her to her corriufiO aud they wero conveyed to the hotel her husband occupied. "Hero you are, my dear," said tho King conducting her through the np.irtineuts ho had expressly furnished for . her . receptiuu j -'litre you aro at homo-." - "Hut whore's my husband 1" asked Lydonia. "Silly boy !" muttered iho King, looking very much unuoyed. "Never mind, my dear ho is your husband tho rest will como iu time. "What is tho use of having n husband if ho will not look at you," f.outed Irdnnia. "ilo shall look ut you or 1 will send him to the Ktlstilu" "Oh, uo," cried Lydonia, "do not force him to look nt inc.

Ilo had forced his sou to marry hr-r, but ho could uot forcu bint to love her. Ho thought of the Dastilo. It would not make him love his wifo to e;id hint thorn. "Well, well," ho said, 'you aro his wife. I will make bun a Duko, and I d.uo say you'll find him homo before morning. With these-words tho Kiug withdrew. Lydonia was left alone with her sorrow. But e. ho was not ono to droop long. She soon dried her tears, and looked all tho better br them, like a roso after a shower.

Compto a Duke, but ho could do cotning lor her. - . ,Sho debrmincd to uscprtuin what her hus band was about. Sho dispatched a trusty sorvnnt for inlelli- gencr-T and like all other wives who place a spy upou tueir nusbacds inovemci is, sl.o wns oot ut nil pleased w ith the news she rc-( ived. 'the Duko was plunging into all kinds of dissipation. gjle wns making lovo to all the pretty daughters of tho shopkeepers iu the Uao bt. Anlouia. In fact, for a niwly married man, his conduct was shameful. . 'To leave mo to run ufter such Canaille !' exe'aimed Lydonia. She paused suddenly. An idea had entered Iter bruiu. Sho determined to act upon it. While sho is meditatng upou it, let us see what the Duke was about. Ono ujght, ubout eight days after his marriage, tho Duko, plainly attired, and mulUcd in a cloak, roamed through tho Faubourg St. Antoiuc, us was his wont, in nucst of ndvru- turej. As he turned tho corm r of ono of those imrrow lunes that iiilnrsreti d that quarter at 'hut period, n piercing shriek buret upon his ear, mingled with suffocating cries for assistance. Tho Duke's sword wus out iu tin iustunt. Ilo was brave to richness. Without a moment's thought ho plunged into the liiiie. Ho beheld a femulo iu the hands .of a mnn. v - Tho mnn fled precipitately at his approach, und tho girl sunk into his arms, convulsively exclaiming : 'Save me, oh, savo mo 1' Tho Duko shoathed tU s.word, and endeavored to calm her fears. Ho led her beneath the lamp that swttug at the coiner. . 'Why, you are ajjerfect little beauty 1' he cried rupltimusly, and in surprise The girl cust down her eyes and blushed deeply, and the Duke felt tho little bund that rested on his arm tremble. But sho til uot seem displeased. 'Do yon reasido in Faiis V 'Yes, but we have only been hero a short time we came from Bell ville mother nnd I.' 'From tho country, eh f Whero do you live, my pretty blossom ?' 'Iu the Rue St. Helene.' 'Why, that is some distance from here. Will you not permit nw to escort you borne ? These streets aro dangerous,' as you have foiindbeuuliful as you are.' 'I would like rery much-to have you see me home if if ' She paused and appeared confused. 'If what?' asked tno Duko, eagerly. 'If you would only be so good as to promise not to to try to kiss nie again if you please, sir,' replied tho girl innocently. The Duke was charmed. There wus a simplicity, a freshness about Ibis young girl, which pleased him. 'I give you my word a? a gentleman,' he said frankly, 'that no art ion of mine ihall dis- ploaso you, if yon act o,)t my escort. . She came to his side aud took his arm with coulideDco. : 'I am not afiaid of y'ou,' she said, with sweot tlinplicily ; 'I know you aro too good to in jar me.' , ' ' Tho Duke blnihed for the first time in he could not tell how many years. Ho knew lie wus receiving a better character thuu ho deserved. . . s 'What is your name ?' be aikod, ai they proceeded on their way. 'Bergenotte,' she replied. 'What a pretty iinnio I And so you live here in I'aris. all alonu wilh your mother ?' L 'Yes.' 'I dure jay you have plenty of sweethearts? 'Jo, I buveu tone.' 'What, no eno thut lovos you ?' 'Noue,' replied Berguotto, rpiite sadly. 'Would you uot liko a sweetheart ?' '1'erhaps.' - 'You must he particular in your choice, or you would have had a sweothourt before now. What kiud of n one would you liko now ?' Those sparkling gray eyes were lifted to his for u moment, 'I would like otic, if you ploofe, like liko ' 'Like what ?' 'Like yuu ' Thow I' thought tho Duke, 'I am getting ou heru. Now, is this cunning, or is it sim-pliilty ?' ',' - They walked on for some timo in silence. Bergeuotlo checked Iho Duko beforou littlo cottage, wilh a garden iu front, Theru was a wicket gate leading ' ut o the garden. 'Hero is whero 1 liveSYhr said. Sho took a key from her girdie und unlocked thn gate. 'Will sho invito mo to enter.?' thought the Duke aud the thought wus father to tho wish. 'Uood night, s:r,' said licrgeuotte, aud many thankn lor your kinihosj.' Sho is u Diana !' was tho Duko's natural reflection. 'Shall I nevef have tho pleasure of seeing you ngiiiti ?' fuid the Duko. 'Do you wink it ?' sho said, euiucslly. '.Most ardently.' . , 'I'll usk my mother.' Au outli roso to tho Dukes lips, but ho pimloutly chocked it, Will you receive mo to-morrow ?'

'She i- is right. Dut I nu-uu what I suy. As turely as tho morrow comes so will 1.' 'Como.. Cood night !' She turned from him, and wns about to eu-ter the garden. Sbo Hindu uo answer, but she inclined hothead gently toward hini. For a ruonieut slio lingered in his nrms, nnd then tore herself from his embrace und passed quickly through tho gnto. Tlio Duko determined to follow her. When ho placed his hand on tho guto ha fotfiid it secrely fastened. JJergeuotto had ptudeutly locked it after her. So tho Duko went to his lodgings (ho had taken bachelor apartments on his wedding day) to tht-ain of Bergeuotlo. 'I he ue.U day he wont to tho cottage iu Kue SI.

But there was only one way iu which liergenotto could be won an lionorttli.o muiTiainv. Tho Duko was in despair, aud at his wit's end. llu had a stormy timo tceuo with the King, who threatened to scud him to tho Bas- lile if bo did not return to tho Duchess. So ho camo to Borgenotto on the fourteenth day, to make a Inial ell'oi I to obtain hoi. They were ulouu together ill tlio garden. i 'Hear mo, Hergeiijlte,' ho cried, when he had exhausted every urgumont aud found still firm. '1 sweur to you wero I free, this in-stout wo-ild I wed you.

Hull tho members of Congress and bulf the public writers havo been ut work ou soino schema of reconstruction. Now is it not very clfar thut if tbe rebels' nie rcutly to slop fighting and reenter the. Uiion, theie is uo need of uny flnb-oruto pluu about it? Aud if they aio not, that all plans nro inefl'ectuul ? We cuiiliot muko black whito by act of Congress. One of tho political vices uuturnl to Uopublicuu Coveriinieut is a constant ctl'ort to euro everything by luw. The people eeud representatives to tho Legislatures und to Congress, as they suppose, to make laws, nnd at it they go. Kuril man thinks himself gifted with a natural genius to reform the imtioit by law and if he makes no attempt ut it, the people think of him us tho patieut does of tW doctor w ho proscribes i.o metlicimi : thuj ho is au Impostor, who has uot earned his uiocoy. Kvcr since tho wur began Congress has hud inuuinerublo platib for reconstruction. Tei-haps it would be as well io rellect whether any reconstruction is desirable, when thu ell'ect of it is to introduce enemies into tlio councils of. tho Republic. But sonio ono will say, When will the rebels be reudy to enter tho Union, or will they over be ? Certaiuly. Tho rebels ure Americans, and like other Amoricuus bavo p good deal of intelligent common senso. When the rebel armiei are di ttroyed and broken tip, and tha idea of independence is cone, and freedom of opinion ii restored, (which they have uot uowj, niuc-toiilus ot the rebels will willingly mil cheerfully re-enter tho Union. They will not do this because they would have chosen it, but because tue-gume is ended, and they will take the course which is best for their rut tiro happiness uud tu prosperity ol their childrcu. When that timo come--, the process of reconstruction is tho simplest thing imaginable. It is only to repeal in each State tho ordinances of teccssiou. to disarm nil sol diers, uud acquiesce iu the restoration of the laws. Iho whole ot tins is merely a negative action, and does not require even an oath of allegiance; hen Kichniom! is taken, nnd Loo's army is destroyed, tho majority iu all tho rebel Stales will be perfectly willing to ac quiesce in the restoration ot the Uovcrnment and tho Union. It will iu fact be absolutely necessary to protect quiet, pcuceablo citizens from rapine, robbery und murder. AVo aro already infurined that tho freebooters called Confederate cavalry did lucre harm to the citizens of Georgia nnd South Carclina, thau Sherman's army ; and wheu tho largi rebel armies aro broken up, nothing but tho im mediate retiiru' of the Stale Uovernmeuta and co-operation with the National Uoverument cun protect tho decent and reputable people of the s oulh ft om destruction. If there should be delay is this, olicthird of our armies will be quite sufficient to govern tho South, uud Congress can legislate for them. It mutters little, except for themselves. The whole question of reconstruction rests with tho armies, Wbeu their wtnk is through, tho people will recons. ruct their political guverumeuU with-uut uny difficulty. Wo aro rcmiuded of this subject by a recent proceeding ol the Senate, iu which tho reul difficulty ol'this reconstmction Echeme is fully exposed. The fuct is tho I'rusideiit cuo do nothing about it, except in communding tha armies ; aud Congress cannot legislate upon it with any effect. Tho real question, when a State claims to bo in the Uuion or recon-stiucted, is, tcfto and how qualified aro the people who exercise the right of suffrage ? On that question Congress, as a legislative body cannot exercise any Constitutional power. 'I hey havo nothing to do with tho, right of suffrage. . Nevertheless it is true, that if a political iStato claims to bo in tho Union, nnd scuds u Senator to Congress he must be nn American, having certain qualifications, and cannot bo a traitor. ' How is that to be ascertained ? The Coustitut:ou,Lu3 met that cafe exactly, but not by general legislation. The Constitution provides that each House of Congress, Senuto aud House, is a judge of the qualifications of its own memhert. Among thoso qualifications is that of loyalty obedience to tho luws. The niun who presents himself cannot bo a truitor.no mutter tohut cre dentials ho may have, uor cau bo bo admitted as thu representative of traitor". Thus when two men presented themselves ns Senators from Aikuusus, Mr. Ilowurd, of Michigan, ob jected to receiving any such people, on the ground that tho men themselves wero secessionists, uud that they wero not elected by a free constituency, tho State being iu military control. Tho Senate refused to receive tho Senators from Arkausas. Now, this will occur iu evioy rebel State ; aud it is beyond the reach of any geuorul law, or tfction of the I'rosideut is there then to be uo rccotruc-tion ? Certaiuly j' but it cau como' only in tho nutiirid way : tho simplo return to loyal-to of the insurrection peopU when they have been sub:Lucd by arms. Iu that case thepeo- plo will bo willing to uo represented, anu will seud loyal men, whom each House of Congress will receive. Till iheu, th rebel fcitates must bo governed by tlio urmy. Somo per sons think tho rebels will.not camo back voluntarily. What. of it? Then they will be governed by the mifitary instead of tho civil power. Tho business of tho country will go ou. Tho porta will be thrown open. Cotton uud sugar will bo ruiscd, as well without tho representatives of thu rebel States as with them ; perlmpi a good deal better. But they will como back on ull sides ; and 'Washing ton will bo besicgod by troips of office-seek ers from the South, us well ns the North. Tho ouly thin to bo done is to destroy the icbel armies ; and leave reconstruction tolls natural course. Cmii'miai Gazette. - - , ' K.D. M.

Molly Greenfield writes to tho American .ijgrkullurist: "Published plans of houses are ull well Hiofgh, an being suggestive, but u person should not follow them heedlessly.

A bouse just right on u North und South road, might bo just wrong on an Kast-und-West one, or even on lb opposite side of the name road. Oue thing, I think, receives leu attention thuu it deserves, that is, the lighting of various parts of a dwelling. Now I wart a kitchcu with light from tho Lust.

A little right calculation will make a great difference in tho pleos-antnesi of a house.

I would prefer a fire place, i Ii" , ought also to have, us adjuncts, nt least tr small dressing room, with clothes press, and a' buth closet.'

About the wood house. My plan is to bavo this located nt a littlo distuuee from the dwelling, say a rod or two, connected, perhaps, with a daiiy, or other workhouse, nnd with the dwelling by a covered passug. ' The wood yard is to be on tho oppowito side, away from . tho dwelling, and filled from that side, .but wilh a door toward the house, through which to carry tho prepared wood. ' This, might take some more Ut pS'tban tho usual method, but would they not be fully repuid by tho tidiness around tho dwelling, aud, perhaps, its increased healthfulness ? -Who knows whut disetsi may not have found Its way to the household from tho decaying chip munure, at tho very back door ?

The Washington correspondent of tho Clo cinnati Gazette, utters some sharp aud palpable truths In the following paragraphs. ' Ke picture is moto faithful thau complimentary. The "wrier lift? of n Congressman is hot al1 case nnd p'.eusuro. But look at the picture. It is a popular delusion that tho bnsiuess of a Congressmen is to mako luws. On tho contrary, it is to servo as a gratuitous claim ujeiit and geucrul ofiice-hunter for his district. Ho mnst get clerkships for tha worthies -who have worked hard for his election. He must oblige the influential politicians by getting plae-osiutho Treasury Departmeut or tha Dead Letter Office for their despoudent nieces. Ho must look alter the back pay and bounty of ull the living soldiers from his district, ami make sure uf the pensions for all the dead ones. He must get this court marshal decision reversed, uud that dismiss-ed oliicor back into the service; he must help this friend to a coutrjet, and gut tho claim of thut oue worked through tho Treasury Department ahead of time, and procure au appointment for the son of a third as cadet at West Point or midship-man at Newport. . .

Somo idea of what occupies the hours' of a Congressman from breakfast till the nieot-ingot'LU committee may be inferred from ' what is written above. , But the distraction does uot stop hero. Tho moment either hranch is iu session, tbe door-keepers begin rushiug after members, with cards from people who want to see thera in the lobbies; constituents who thiuk it is cusicr to fiud members at the-cttpitol than to get up early- enough to call on them at their rooms; lobbyists who wont to tease them into voting for or against somo measure which tho.lohbyisls have been paid for sustuiuing or opposing; women with sub-scriptioo papers saddest bores of all. When the adjournment comes, members rhvut run tho gauntlet of people" who have fuiledto drag . them from their seats during the session, aud who lie iu wait for them now whilo their dinner cools. Then follows the mail, with its, burdeu of begging fetters, and inquiring let-, tcrs, aud advisory letters, and threatening letters, letters congratulatory and letters speeu-Intive aud letters doctrinal, and letters on-every conceivable subject on which a Con-; grcssmau ought not to bo" addressed. , .

'I he tiujtular feuturo of tho ceremony waa that the bridegroom's eyes were buuijuged with a white haudkcretiief. ' '1 he circumstances excited the wonder of all. Had tho bride beta old nud ugly Ihey would uitt litive bteu surpilsed. Ou tho contrary slut was young and ijuitc pretty. Tho King ulotte underwood this strange freak of tho bridegroom, and, though much enraged, ho prudently held hit" ponce auj suffered the ceremouy to proceed. A few words will explain tho motives of tho bridegroom. When Louis tho'XIVtb came back from his great campaign in the Palatinate, ho de-tern:iiiedio unite his sod, whose valor und daring in the war hud greatly pleased bini, to oue of the wealthy wards of the crown. ' He proposed the union to tho young Duchess of Daliverne, oud foucd her favorably iu-cliuod.Sbe had just coma to the Court, haviti!.' just emerged from the couvent where she had just completed her educatiou. Bue uausteniue young Oouiil olten, tbougli he hud never deigoed to cn.st a glauce upou her. She knew ho was brave aud noble, uud she thought handsome. The hur-f iuitter i 1 bis escutcheon was do objection fcihe accepted him. Unf'iilunntely, Lonls of Fruncho Compte who like his father was something of a reprobate, would not accept her, "My fon," raid the great King. "I have re solved that yon shall marry." "My worthy sir, and most excellent father," returned the Cuuut, "1 have resolved to do no such thing." . i Tbe King frowned. lie was not In tho hab it of being contradicted. , "1 Itavo made a formal proposition 111 rour. name, for tlio hand of tho Duchess of full-veruc. and sho has accepted you," suitf e gravely. ., ' "Uouiit.ess. sneered the vouoir Bcano-irrace. "her tajste is excellent, unci could she refuse me f t'erlmpj it would have been as well to have consulted my .inclinations in the matter. I do nit wish to marry." "A ro you In love with any one f - "No." - '-Then love my Duchess, Sho is noble, wealthy." . . . . j ' I upt ynur sou i that is robility enough.'' Ho bowd low as ho fpoke, aud the King smiled at the compliment, "And the Jews trust niowhut could I do with lr.ore money?" "Jint sho is tlio prettiest woman In my court." "I'm tired of prettv womeu j they aro always fools." "Could you but sen her, you would bo sure to fall in love with her." ' I will never see her !" uiiswoied the Count, determine-illy. "Hoe her or uot, you shall many her P cried tho ICing in a rage, "If 1 do, I'll mnrry her with my eyes shut!" returned tho Count. Tho King grow purple .with passion. "llurk'u boy I You owo me obedicuco as a euliji.'ct and a son, It is my will that you bestow your hand upou tho Duchess de Kali-vertio, The wedding shall tako placo this day fortnight, Submit to my will with a good grace und I will creato J'ou a Duko ou your wedding dav- Dni'fl to disobey nm uud 1 will strip you of your titles and the lauds you Ijold from me, uud cast you into-the liastilo." This was what had brought tho Count of Frnncbo Compto blindfolded to bo married. Tlio King smiled grimly, but suid nothing. Tho Count placed tho ring upon the linger of his bride, but he did not suluto her, uud when tbe ceremony was over ho turned his buck upou her, took the handkerchief from his rycfj aud walked deliberately out of the chap-1. Lydonia pouted her pretty lip?, and vi-as olmobt reudy to cry with vexation. - 'Thu King took lu-r iu charge, escorted her to her corriufiO aud they wero conveyed to the hotel her husband occupied. "Hero you are, my dear," said tho King conducting her through the np.irtineuts ho had expressly furnished for . her . receptiuu j -'litre you aro at homo-." - "Hut whore's my husband 1" asked Lydonia. "Silly boy !" muttered iho King, looking very much unuoyed. "Never mind, my dear ho is your husband tho rest will como iu time. "What is tho use of having n husband if ho will not look at you," f.outed Irdnnia. "ilo shall look ut you or 1 will send him to the Ktlstilu" "Oh, uo," cried Lydonia, "do not force him to look nt inc. If ho hus uot curiosity enough to sea what kind of a wifo he has gotVTm wire I do uot wish to oblige him to look ut ine.' 1 seo bow it is," she continue!1, a snd ex-piession stealing over her countenance. "Biro you have forced thu Count into this uuiou I" The King coughed and looked guilty. "Ob " cried Lydonin.with uuguiah, "he nev er loved, then he will never love me !'' "Why shpuldyou cure ? "Uecuuse I loved him," uusworcj Lydonia, innocently." "Lovelorn?" 'Uh, so dearly 1 That is why I man led him. I had loved him from the moment 1 fust beheld him. And now that I am his wife, ho will not look on me !'' Lydonia bnrstiuto a Hood ol tears nnd sank upon a sola. Tho King pitied her sincerely, but -what could he do ? Ilo had forced his sou to marry hr-r, but ho could uot forcu bint to love her. Ho thought of the Dastilo. It would not make him love his wifo to e;id hint thorn. "Well, well," ho said, 'you aro his wife. I will make bun a Duko, and I d.uo say you'll find him homo before morning. With these-words tho Kiug withdrew. Lydonia was left alone with her sorrow. But e. ho was not ono to droop long. She soon dried her tears, and looked all tho better br them, like a roso after a shower. Her old duiso camo in uud tog. ther they mspectod tlioir new homo, which Lytloma, touno entirely to tier E'ltisluction. Tho Count did not come homo thut night. A week passed by and ho did not make his .appearance. l,ytlnniu count to the couclusiou that he never would come.' She kiw it wi s useless to appeal to the King.- Ho had made Fraucho. Compto a Duke, but ho could do cotning lor her. - . ,Sho debrmincd to uscprtuin what her hus band was about. Sho dispatched a trusty sorvnnt for inlelli- gencr-T and like all other wives who place a spy upou tueir nusbacds inovemci is, sl.o wns oot ut nil pleased w ith the news she rc-( ived. 'the Duko was plunging into all kinds of dissipation. gjle wns making lovo to all the pretty daughters of tho shopkeepers iu the Uao bt. Anlouia. In fact, for a niwly married man, his conduct was shameful. . 'To leave mo to run ufter such Canaille !' exe'aimed Lydonia. She paused suddenly. An idea had entered Iter bruiu. Sho determined to act upon it. While sho is meditatng upou it, let us see what the Duke was about. Ono ujght, ubout eight days after his marriage, tho Duko, plainly attired, and mulUcd in a cloak, roamed through tho Faubourg St. Antoiuc, us was his wont, in nucst of ndvru- turej. As he turned tho corm r of ono of those imrrow lunes that iiilnrsreti d that quarter at 'hut period, n piercing shriek buret upon his ear, mingled with suffocating cries for assistance. Tho Duke's sword wus out iu tin iustunt. Ilo was brave to richness. Without a moment's thought ho plunged into the liiiie. Ho beheld a femulo iu the hands .of a mnn. v - Tho mnn fled precipitately at his approach, und tho girl sunk into his arms, convulsively exclaiming : 'Save me, oh, savo mo 1' Tho Duko shoathed tU s.word, and endeavored to calm her fears. Ho led her beneath the lamp that swttug at the coiner. .

'If you would only be so good as to promise not to to try to kiss nie again if you please, sir,' replied tho girl innocently. The Duke was charmed. There wus a simplicity, a freshness about Ibis young girl, which pleased him. 'I give you my word a? a gentleman,' he said frankly, 'that no art ion of mine ihall dis- ploaso you, if yon act o,)t my escort. . She came to his side aud took his arm with coulideDco. : 'I am not afiaid of y'ou,' she said, with sweot tlinplicily ; 'I know you aro too good to in jar me.' , ' ' Tho Duke blnihed for the first time in he could not tell how many years.

Hull tho members of Congress and bulf the public writers havo been ut work ou soino schema of reconstruction. Now is it not very clfar thut if tbe rebels' nie rcutly to slop fighting and reenter the. Uiion, theie is uo need of uny flnb-oruto pluu about it? Aud if they aio not, that all plans nro inefl'ectuul ? We cuiiliot muko black whito by act of Congress. One of tho political vices uuturnl to Uopublicuu Coveriinieut is a constant ctl'ort to euro everything by luw. The people eeud representatives to tho Legislatures und to Congress, as they suppose, to make laws, nnd at it they go. Kuril man thinks himself gifted with a natural genius to reform the imtioit by law and if he makes no attempt ut it, the people think of him us tho patieut does of tW doctor w ho proscribes i.o metlicimi : thuj ho is au Impostor, who has uot earned his uiocoy. Kvcr since tho wur began Congress has hud inuuinerublo platib for reconstruction. Tei-haps it would be as well io rellect whether any reconstruction is desirable, when thu ell'ect of it is to introduce enemies into tlio councils of. tho Republic. But sonio ono will say, When will the rebels be reudy to enter tho Union, or will they over be ? Certaiuly. Tho rebels ure Americans, and like other Amoricuus bavo p good deal of intelligent common senso. When the rebel armiei are di ttroyed and broken tip, and tha idea of independence is cone, and freedom of opinion ii restored, (which they have uot uowj, niuc-toiilus ot the rebels will willingly mil cheerfully re-enter tho Union. They will not do this because they would have chosen it, but because tue-gume is ended, and they will take the course which is best for their rut tiro happiness uud tu prosperity ol their childrcu. When that timo come--, the process of reconstruction is tho simplest thing imaginable. It is only to repeal in each State tho ordinances of teccssiou. to disarm nil sol diers, uud acquiesce iu the restoration of the laws. Iho whole ot tins is merely a negative action, and does not require even an oath of allegiance; hen Kichniom! is taken, nnd Loo's army is destroyed, tho majority iu all tho rebel Stales will be perfectly willing to ac quiesce in the restoration ot the Uovcrnment and tho Union. It will iu fact be absolutely necessary to protect quiet, pcuceablo citizens from rapine, robbery und murder. AVo aro already infurined that tho freebooters called Confederate cavalry did lucre harm to the citizens of Georgia nnd South Carclina, thau Sherman's army ; and wheu tho largi rebel armies aro broken up, nothing but tho im mediate retiiru' of the Stale Uovernmeuta and co-operation with the National Uoverument cun protect tho decent and reputable people of the s oulh ft om destruction. If there should be delay is this, olicthird of our armies will be quite sufficient to govern tho South, uud Congress can legislate for them. It mutters little, except for themselves. The whole question of reconstruction rests with tho armies, Wbeu their wtnk is through, tho people will recons. ruct their political guverumeuU with-uut uny difficulty. Wo aro rcmiuded of this subject by a recent proceeding ol the Senate, iu which tho reul difficulty ol'this reconstmction Echeme is fully exposed. The fuct is tho I'rusideiit cuo do nothing about it, except in communding tha armies ; aud Congress cannot legislate upon it with any effect. Tho real question, when a State claims to bo in the Uuion or recon-stiucted, is, tcfto and how qualified aro the people who exercise the right of suffrage ? On that question Congress, as a legislative body cannot exercise any Constitutional power. 'I hey havo nothing to do with tho, right of suffrage. . Nevertheless it is true, that if a political iStato claims to bo in tho Union, nnd scuds u Senator to Congress he must be nn American, having certain qualifications, and cannot bo a traitor. ' How is that to be ascertained ? The Coustitut:ou,Lu3 met that cafe exactly, but not by general legislation. The Constitution provides that each House of Congress, Senuto aud House, is a judge of the qualifications of its own memhert. Among thoso qualifications is that of loyalty obedience to tho luws. The niun who presents himself cannot bo a truitor.no mutter tohut cre dentials ho may have, uor cau bo bo admitted as thu representative of traitor". Thus when two men presented themselves ns Senators from Aikuusus, Mr. Ilowurd, of Michigan, ob jected to receiving any such people, on the ground that tho men themselves wero secessionists, uud that they wero not elected by a free constituency, tho State being iu military control. Tho Senate refused to receive tho Senators from Arkausas. Now, this will occur iu evioy rebel State ; aud it is beyond the reach of any geuorul law, or tfction of the I'rosideut is there then to be uo rccotruc-tion ? Certaiuly j' but it cau como' only in tho nutiirid way : tho simplo return to loyal-to of the insurrection peopU when they have been sub:Lucd by arms. Iu that case thepeo- plo will bo willing to uo represented, anu will seud loyal men, whom each House of Congress will receive. Till iheu, th rebel fcitates must bo governed by tlio urmy. Somo per sons think tho rebels will.not camo back voluntarily. What. of it? Then they will be governed by the mifitary instead of tho civil power. Tho business of tho country will go ou. Tho porta will be thrown open. Cotton uud sugar will bo ruiscd, as well without tho representatives of thu rebel States as with them ; perlmpi a good deal better. But they will como back on ull sides ; and 'Washing ton will bo besicgod by troips of office-seek ers from the South, us well ns the North. Tho ouly thin to bo done is to destroy the icbel armies ; and leave reconstruction tolls natural course. Cmii'miai Gazette. - - , ' K.D. M.

Molly Greenfield writes to tho American .ijgrkullurist: "Published plans of houses are ull well Hiofgh, an being suggestive, but u person should not follow them heedlessly.

A bouse just right on u North und South road, might bo just wrong on an Kast-und-West one, or even on lb opposite side of the name road. Oue thing, I think, receives leu attention thuu it deserves, that is, the lighting of various parts of a dwelling. Now I wart a kitchcu with light from tho Lust.

A little right calculation will make a great difference in tho pleos-antnesi of a house.

About the wood house. My plan is to bavo this located nt a littlo distuuee from the dwelling, say a rod or two, connected, perhaps, with a daiiy, or other workhouse, nnd with the dwelling by a covered passug. ' The wood yard is to be on tho oppowito side, away from . tho dwelling, and filled from that side, .but wilh a door toward the house, through which to carry tho prepared wood. ' This, might take some more Ut pS'tban tho usual method, but would they not be fully repuid by tho tidiness around tho dwelling, aud, perhaps, its increased healthfulness ? -Who knows whut disetsi may not have found Its way to the household from tho decaying chip munure, at tho very back door ?

The Washington correspondent of tho Clo cinnati Gazette, utters some sharp aud palpable truths In the following paragraphs. ' Ke picture is moto faithful thau complimentary. The "wrier lift? of n Congressman is hot al1 case nnd p'.eusuro. But look at the picture. It is a popular delusion that tho bnsiuess of a Congressmen is to mako luws. On tho contrary, it is to servo as a gratuitous claim ujeiit and geucrul ofiice-hunter for his district. Ho mnst get clerkships for tha worthies -who have worked hard for his election. He must oblige the influential politicians by getting plae-osiutho Treasury Departmeut or tha Dead Letter Office for their despoudent nieces. Ho must look alter the back pay and bounty of ull the living soldiers from his district, ami make sure uf the pensions for all the dead ones. He must get this court marshal decision reversed, uud that dismiss-ed oliicor back into the service; he must help this friend to a coutrjet, and gut tho claim of thut oue worked through tho Treasury Department ahead of time, and procure au appointment for the son of a third as cadet at West Point or midship-man at Newport. . .

Tho moment either hranch is iu session, tbe door-keepers begin rushiug after members, with cards from people who want to see thera in the lobbies; constituents who thiuk it is cusicr to fiud members at the-cttpitol than to get up early- enough to call on them at their rooms; lobbyists who wont to tease them into voting for or against somo measure which tho.lohbyisls have been paid for sustuiuing or opposing; women with sub-scriptioo papers saddest bores of all. When the adjournment comes, members rhvut run tho gauntlet of people" who have fuiledto drag . them from their seats during the session, aud who lie iu wait for them now whilo their dinner cools.
